[Live-devel] how to define that client is died?

[Ashutosh Dutta]

I have a similar question in the case of server inactivity. What happens 
to the client if it does not receive any RTP stream for sometime from 
the server? Can RTCP info be used to signal the client to behave 
accordingly?

Thanks
Ashutosh
